Intriguing. Reminds me of a subversive Russian movie, I think it was called Kommissar.

I'm not familiar with it.

Even though it has nothing to do with him, it reminds me of an 80's Kurosawa poster for Ran or something like that. At any rate, I like the elegance of it.

Seems a bit to white to me.

My late friend Mark, who was a graphic designer by training, always said that when he was doing different jobs in the industry, such as designing ads, his life was a constant struggle for empty space; advertisers wanted maximum utilization of the space, and couldn't understand that empty space was part of the overall aesthetic of a graphic. Obviously this point was not lost on Zamecznik.
